Chapter 67 The Fork in Science and Technology

Zhang Guozhu was extremely disappointed...

Just in a huge reservoir, a ship with two huge wheels was moving slowly in the reservoir.

The ship is ugly. The hull is very long. There are two large paddle wheels in the middle. There is also a tall chimney on the hull. Black smoke is constantly emerging from the chimney, and various mechanical devices make unpleasant sounds. , There is hardly any merit.

It's just that the two wheels are turning slowly, dragging the ship slowly forward in the reservoir with difficulty.

"This is what your Majesty is going to make me cast on the ground?"

Seeing this, Zhang Guozhu didn't even conceal his disdain.

"Don't underestimate this thing, it can travel without wind, and I tell you, on the river, this thing can travel against the current without dragging it by a tracker."

Zhang Guozhu laughed and said: "Your Majesty, do you know that every year after the southerly wind on the Yangtze River rises, the sailing boats on the Yangtze River will go upstream. When the current is turbulent, these boats will release sky sails, just like kites. Something helped drag the boat up the river.

So this thing is not very useful. "

Yun Zhao pointed to Zhang Guozhu and said, "You will be ashamed of what you said in the future."

As I spoke, the steam siren on the ship rang three times, and then I saw a plume of smoke rising into the sky. Then, the speed of the two paddle wheels suddenly increased and they drove through the reservoir like waves. He left the sight of Yun Zhao and Zhang Guozhu.

Yun Zhao looked at the somewhat hesitant Zhang Guozhu and said, "How?"

Zhang Guozhu was unwilling to say anything against his heart, rubbing the short beard on his chin and said: "It seems a bit interesting, so your Majesty is going to send this thing to the sea?"

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "This thing cannot be sent to the sea before a better boiler appears."

Leaving the reservoir with Zhang Guozhu, they came to a place with a high wall, even Zhang Guozhu came to this place for the first time.

The gatekeepers were the Royal Guards in black military uniforms. These men were fully armed and looked serious.

When the carriage arrived at the door, the gate covered with barbed wire slowly opened, and Yun Zhao's carriage carried Yun Zhao and Zhang Guozhu into the gate together.

The first thing that catches the eye is an iron shelf running around on the floor. There are four wheels on the iron shelf. The wheels are made of expensive rubber. There is also a steaming teapot on the iron shelf. Two sturdy connecting rods follow. With the twitch of the steam piston, he hummed and ran around with the iron frame.

There are many iron racks running around like this, with four wheels, six wheels, and even two large, two small, four-wheeled iron racks.

Zhang Guozhu didn't feel too strange about this. He just didn't feel used to it. He once thought that if this continues, the Ming Dynasty will be full of teapot monsters.

"How much money does Your Majesty spend on these teapots every year?"

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Six million."

"does it worth?"

Yun Zhao laughed and said, "As long as there is one success, it is worth it."

Zhang Guozhu shook his head and continued to walk in with Yun Zhao. There were more and more steam monsters inside. There were heavy hammers driven by steam, grinding discs driven by steam, and machine tools driven by steam... He even saw a Driven by steam, a steel dog that can walk on its own.

Yun Zhao stepped forward and twisted the steam dog’s ears, and the steel steam dog that was originally moving stopped. A man in a blue shirt came over, added some water to the steam dog’s body, and twisted it again. I opened the steam dog’s fart, and added a few pieces of carbon. When the steam dog’s nose started to whitish, the person in the blue shirt twisted the dog’s ears again, and the dog started to move four more times. With only one foot, start walking in a straight line.

Yun Zhao happily looked at the scene in front of him and said to Zhang Guozhu: "How about Zhuge Wuhou's wooden ox?"

Zhang Guozhu sighed and patted the tall steam hammer with his hand and said: "The plaything must be lost. Your Majesty should be closer to the living, and stay away from these cold things."

Yun Zhao also slapped the steam hammer and said, "Do you know that once this huge hammer is hit, you can top a blacksmith's work for a month, and even do things that a blacksmith can never do."

After that, he pulled Zhang Guozhu away from the heavy hammer, and saw six craftsmen pushing a red-hot iron rod with an iron cart and placing it under the heavy hammer. The hammer fell with a bang, hit the red iron rod heavily, then quickly lifted the heavy hammer, and then continued to fall, the iron rod sparks everywhere, the black crust cracked one after another, and the craftsman kept turning the iron rod. After a while, the iron rod changed from a cylinder to a cuboid.

Seeing that the temperature of the iron rod dropped and no longer turned red, the craftsmen pushed the iron cart, left again, and put the cuboid back into the furnace to heat it up. Dream Chinese

"Every part of our artillery is beaten with such a hammer. The artillery parts made of the beaten steel are far beyond the comparison of the cast parts."

"We already have a hydraulic hammer, and that thing is just as easy to use. As far as I know, the hydraulic hammer of the Yushan Iron and Steel Plant is already unique in the world. Why did your Majesty order someone to develop such a huge steam hammer? What?

You see, for this heavy hammer, the workshop first made a boiler covering an area of ​​half an acre, and then connected the air outlet with a pipe. It also needed to be sealed with expensive rubber. Even so, the boiler still leaked everywhere. Gas is far less effective than a hydraulic hammer.

In the scene that I just saw, the craftsmen who maintained this steam hammer have tried so many times to get the results.

Your Majesty, don't indulge in it. Any emperor who indulges in something will have a bad result.

The Kingdom allocates tens of millions of national money to His Majesty every year. It is hoped that His Majesty can use this money to reward heroes, encourage progress, compensate for injustice, help the weak, demonstrate the royal family, and promote the royal family's virtues.

Your Majesty spends most of the money on these things every year. Over time, it will inevitably make the heroes chill, and make the people of the world think that your Majesty doesn't care about them, and only knows to play with some useless things blindly. "

"You said these are useless things?" Yun Zhao was shocked after listening to Zhang Guozhu's words.

Zhang Guozhu sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the words mentioned above are not the meaning of the ministers, but the subjects of the world, and the ministers naturally know the importance of these things.

Whether it’s a train, a cable telegraph, or the heavy ship that you just saw that can travel without sails, it’s so useful that it can even change the Ming Dynasty. We have seen this with his own eyes and used it personally. Of course, he understands. The steam hammer and all things related to steam here have promising prospects.

As His Majesty said, as long as there is one thing that can be truly developed and used in real life, six million silver dollars is not too much or not too much, and gritted teeth can always squeeze out the money.

However, it is useless for us monarchs and ministers to know this truth.

If only a few people or even dozens of people go to the book, Weichen can still accept it, and even find a way to convince them. Unfortunately, the book is not a few, dozens of people, but hundreds of thousands.

They don't care about six million silver dollars, but plead with your Majesty not to indulge. You still have thousands of miles of territory to be governed, and you can't use your heart and energy on these trivial matters that require trial and error and modification. "

Yun Zhao glanced at the steam dog who was walking up at a staggering pace, nodded and said, "It seems that I was too much."

Zhang Guozhu pressed the steam dog’s head and made the dog squeak and walk on the spot. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, let the Secretary take care of it. Even if the process of their development is slower, your Majesty and the ministers can Can afford to wait, there is no need to do it overnight."

Yun Zhao sighed and walked out of the workshop first. Zhang Guozhu let go of the steam dog with a smile, and followed the emperor with his hands on his back. He was very satisfied. It seemed that the emperor should have listened to his advice.

It was through Qian Shaoshao that Yun Zhao knew that the officials had reacted greatly to his actions of correcting their own deeds, and then he wanted to persuade Zhang Guozhu, the most violent opponent, to do other people's work.

It's a pity that Zhang Guozhu is a sensible person. It's not that he doesn't know the importance of these things. He just doesn't want Yun Zhao to do these things himself.

Now that Zhang Guozhu explained the reason for the matter, Yun Zhao gave up the idea of ​​persuading others.

Just like Zhang Guozhu said, he can persuade a few dozen people, but there is absolutely no way to persuade hundreds of people. Once the number of opponents reaches a certain number, even the incorrect things will become the right things.

This is the majority effect of terror.

People who have opposed the majority effect since ancient times have not ended well. The successful people recorded in the history books are just a few fish that have slipped through the net. Yun Zhao does not want to cause a storm in the court. This is unnecessary.

However, if he does not participate in these scientific inventions, God knows how many detours they will take. If they continue to develop as they are now, Yun Zhao believes that Daming will definitely embark on the steampunk road.

At that time, the castle that walks by itself, the bridge that walks by itself, the hot air balloon that covers the sky...maybe they will all appear.

Moreover, with Daming's current strength, he is absolutely qualified to lead the world trend... Yun Zhao can't even imagine the beautiful scenes of steampunk comics becoming reality.

In the evening, Yun Zhao did not go home ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but continued to work diligently in the large study. These days, the memorials accumulated in his hand are too much, too much.

Not only that, the officials also hope that he, the emperor, can leave Yushan City and visit the world. The prefects of Shuntian Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, Lantian City, Guangzhou City, and Shanghai City, which is under construction on a large scale, have written countless times. Hope He can go and see.

Feng Ying, Yun Zhao didn't have much appetite when Duoduo Qian came to deliver the food. After a few bites, he left his job and continued to work.

Feng Ying whispered: "Why is your husband so diligent today?"

Yun Zhao said irritably, "People say that I am addicted to drinking and I am about to become a faint king."

Qian Duoduo rolled his eyes and said, "Our youngest child, Yunqi, is eight years old. If you are addicted to drinking and drinking, we will definitely not have only three children!"
